Catalina Luna, a visual designer and intercultural facilitator, and Nick Rahaim, a writer and photographer, stand on decades of combined experience across internationally recognized cultural institutions, award-winning media organizations, and community-based initiatives in Chile, Spain and the U.S. Through Agency Ventana they bring creative depth and strategic insight to every project: from visually compelling public campaigns to nuanced communications grounded in research, policy, and community engagement.
Ventana is more than a picturesque place or the Spanish word for “window.” It embodies our approach to communications: creating openings for understanding, connection, and action. Through bilingual branding and storytelling, we help our clients open windows to let in the light—illuminating their work, values, and vision.
Whether creating messaging and materials for a grassroots political campaign, communicating environmental science and policy, or developing a brand for your small business, the Agency Ventana team can help you meet your goals with both style and intellect.
Her design career spans the globe from Chile and the United States to Mexico and Spain, where she has worked across the cultural landscape through visual storytelling with an eye toward social justice.
She launched her career as creative director of CinemaChile, shaping the country’s cinematic identity at world-class festivals, including Cannes 2016, where her work garnered acclaim from the international film industry. From there, she brought her vision to the San Francisco Film Festival and the Oakland Museum of California, leading communications design that connected diverse Bay Area communities to art and culture.
With a master’s in design research from BAU Barcelona, Catalina deepened her practice through rigorous field research on participatory audience engagement. In Barcelona, she created Yo Sí Te Veo, an award-winning campaign that illuminated the invisible stories of single-parent immigrant families during COVID-19 into a nationally recognized graphic and audiovisual movement.
She was a lead designer at SFJAZZ, developing strategies and visuals that strengthened the organization’s creative identity and community outreach. She currently mentors Latina entrepreneurs at Prospera and leads visual direction at the Bay Nature Institute and its quarterly publication.
Catalina is passionate about community organizing, psychology and the environment, which inspires her rare ability to translate multicultural complexity into design systems that resonate across identities. Her work seeks for sustainability and connection, enduring over time and with multiple possibilities to evolve in the future.
Nick was a public affairs officer for NOAA Fisheries and served as a spokesperson for the West Coast Region, where he created and implemented communication strategies on endangered and other protected species and sustainable fishing. He also worked closely with Native American tribes of the Pacific Northwest to ensure the government fulfilled its treaty obligation and uphold indigenous fishing rights. His time working for the United States government was cut short by the mass termination of federal employees in 2025…thanks DOGE.
Over a 20-year-career in journalism he has covered a wide array of subjects: from politics, economics and culture to city hall, labor, food and travel. He was a member of the 2018 Pulitzer-Prize winning team at The Press Democrat in Santa Rosa, California for coverage of the devastating North Bay wildfires. He also received honors for best longform feature by the Society of Environmental Journalists in 2023. He has a master’s degree in international environmental policy from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, with a specialization in ocean and coastal resource management (aka the blue economy).
